Ingredient Information

Why our Herbs?

We only use organic or wild harvested herbs grown in North America. Organic herbs have been shown to be up to ten times stronger than conventionally grown herbs. The reason we buy only from North America is that herbs from overseas are still grown with the use of highly toxic pesticides and insecticides and many still use DDT. Many herb companies buy from growers in India, Egypt, China, etc, because they literally pay 50 to 60 cents a pound for weak dirty unregulated herbs. Even if they claim to be Organic, herbs from other countries are almost always irradiated in Ethylene Oxide gas chambers to destroy bacteria before being allowed into North America. Ethylene Oxide gas has been proven to cause liver cancer in animals, destroy nerve cells, cause leukemia, respiratory disease, seizures, comas, etc.

We pay anywhere from $10 to $185 dollars per pound for our herbs which are grown on certified organic farms or wild harvested right here in North America. We use only the strongest and cleanest herbs to ensure your pet will heal more quickly. Before using any herbal formula ask the manufacturer where their herbs come from. If they can’t tell, you might be endangering your pet’s health by using them.

Why our tinctured formulae?

We make our formulae very, very strong. The reason we do this is we want your pet to get better. Many companies use only 10 to 20 percent herbs when making their tinctures and the rest is the extracting liquid. The result is a watered down weak tincture that is light in color and has at best a light taste if you can detect anything at all beyond the alcohol.

We use a minimum of 90% herbs in our formulae and we let our formulae steep for 14 days. The result is a dark liquid that has a powerful aroma and taste of the herb(s) it is made from. The strongest tinctures you can buy at most health stores are rated 1:1 that means 50% herbs to 50% extracting liquid. Many herb companies think that’s overkill, we think it’s not nearly strong enough. When you are dealing with life and death situations, you need effective concentrated formulae that work and that is exactly what we offer.

Hepara-Cleanse

Ingredients: Milk Thistle seed, Gentian root, Dandelion root, Oregon Grape root, Wormwood leaf and flower, Mojave Chaparral herb, Black Walnut hulls, Ginger rhizome, and Fennel seed.

The liver’s job is to cleanse the blood of any impurities such as those found in processed foods, tap water that is loaded with chemicals, the polluted air we all breathe and toxic pharmaceutical residues. These toxins overload your dog’s liver. They congest the liver and in turn the liver becomes less able to filter the blood. Over time the poisons that your dog’s liver should be removing get into the blood stream and eventually lead to disease. Our liver flush cleans and protects the liver and is a life saver for dogs with serious liver disease. Hepara-Cleanse also removes parasites and intestinal worms. We have seen dogs with sinus infections, skin infections and ear infections that recovered after ONLY one month of kidney and liver flush programs. Once the liver and kidney have been cleansed it allows the body to focus its energy on healing the sick and diseased areas. So start giving your dog organic whole foods, clean filtered water, plenty of outdoor exercise and cleanse his liver and kidneys and you will see huge improvements in his health.

All ingredients are either organic or wild harvested.

Blood Cleansing Tonic

Ingredients: Red clover blossoms, Mojave Chaparral herb, Oregon Grape root, burdock root and seed, Yellow Dock root, Poke root, Habanero Cayenne peppers, and Lobelia seeds.

This formula goes hand in hand with Hepara-Cleanse, the potent herbs in this formula clean the blood and lymph glands. They remove poisons and toxins from the body’s fat, cells and blood.

All ingredients are either organic or wild harvested.

Rena-Cleanse

Ingredients: Juniper berries, Uva Ursi leaf, Corn silk, Horsetail herb, Burdock root and seed, Pipsissewa leaf, Parsley leaf and root, Goldenrod flower tops and Marshmallow root.

The kidneys are just as important in cleaning your dog’s blood as the liver. When the kidneys are healthy they take on the job of filtering blood plasma, they return good clean blood to the body and create urine to expel the waste. They also regulate the acid/alkaline balance, as well as the water and electrolytes of the blood. Cleaning the elimination organs will ensure that your pet will receive the nutrients and herbs it needs to heal. Our formula contains herbs that kill most urinary infections, clean and repair the kidneys and it is also a diuretic.

All ingredients are either organic or wild harvested.

Hi and welcome to Five Leaf Pet Botanicals. My name is Amanda Banting, I am a Herbalist and the founder of Five Leaf Pet Botanicals.

In 2002 one of my seven dogs, Tom (he was 6 years old at the time and my eldest), was diagnosed with heart disease, he was given only 6 - 12 months to live. I was devastated. My dogs are my children, so I could not accept his prognosis. I was already practicing natural healing and was very knowledgeable in the power of herbs as medicine, but my education had focused on treating humans, not canines. I, like many other dog owners, thought dogs were dogs - they were fed kibble, brought for walks, given vaccines here and there and they would live into their teens, hopefully dying in their sleep.

Since all my dogs were still young and relatively healthy up until that point, I never had to think about treating them with herbs and natural healing. Since the Vets had given me no hope for Tom and actually told me flat out “there is no cure for heart disease” I felt I had no choice but to take matters into my own hands...
